Council information

The Canadian Council for Small Business & Entrepreneurship (CCSBE)/Conseil Canadien de la PME et de l'entrepreneuriat (CCPME) is the only national membership-based organization in Canada whose goals are to promote and advance the development of small business and entrepreneurship through research, education and training, networking and dissemination of scholarly & policy-oriented information.

The CCSBE/CCPME was formed in 1979 as the first affiliate of the International Council for Small Business. Its members include academics, educators, representatives of small business support organizations, researchers, government officials, students of entrepreneurship, and policy makers. Journal of Small Business & Entrepreneurship will enhance the CCSBE/CCPME’s ability to pursue these goals, nationally and internationally.

The organization maintains a bilingual website ( www.ccsbe.org) and offers a number of benefits to members including free online access to all JSBE papers.
